Libya Declares Force Majeure at 11 Oil fields after Attacks
Libya's National Oil Corporation declared force majeure Wednesday at 11 oil fields in the center of the country after attacks by Islamists.
The measure is a legal status that protects a company from liability when it is unable to fulfill contracts for reasons beyond its control.
On Tuesday, Islamist militants seized al-Bahi and al-Mabrouk fields and were heading for a third one, at al-Dahra, said a spokesman for the Libyan oil industry's security service.
